The Saudi Pro League faced more turmoil on Saturday as Al-Nassr's winning streak came to an end in a 2-1 defeat to Al-Ittihad. George Ilenikhena scored twice for Al-Ittihad in the first 22 minutes, while Angelo Gabriel equalized for Al-Nassr just before halftime. Despite a strong second-half performance from Al-Nassr, they failed to secure a draw.
